Update - May 6th 2011
Following the update provided to colleagues in March, representation has been made by stakeholders to implement corrections into a range of additional qualifications. These corrections relate to the use of more appropriate OHS units and the inappropriateness of the unit “BSBITS401A Maintain business technology” which focuses on implementing IT, in financial service qualifications.
While it was intended to propose implementing these changes as part of the continuous improvement program scheduled to commence in July 2011, stakeholders have represented that as these are obvious corrections, wide scale consultation should not be necessary. On this basis, the changes have been made to qualifications where appropriate and in the event any stakeholder indicates concern, the qualification will not be modified and a more widely based consultation will be scheduled for later in the year.
Colleagues have also provided some recommendations to strengthen the provisions in the generic Certificate IV and Diploma in Financial Services which is reflected in the material provided. Additionally representation has been made in respect of the Diploma and Advanced Diploma of Financial Risk Management which is also reflected in the material provided.
A summary of the proposed modifications to the training package documentation, Units of Competence and qualifications structures can be viewed here.
Draft structures for qualifications that have been modified can be viewed here.This is the final update prior to submission of these proposals to NQC for endorsement. Colleagues will be able to provide final comments until Friday 27th May. Comment may be made to Tony Cusack (tony@ibsa.org.au) or Anna Ridgway (anna@ibsa.org.au).
